Interstate Commission Suggestions.

Chairman Cooley, OF the Interstate COM
merce commission, answers many QueS-
tions likely TO arise among people at large
in Il letter to complaining merchants on
the limits and powers OF the commission.
He suggests: Congress would not pass
law couferring such summary and autocrat-
ic powers rs to enable the commission
not only to correct IL road for the future,
but also order I'll, refunding OF over
charges. Furthermcre if the commission
should try to respond to irresponsible
calls at large, it would find cases accumu-
lating so last that the law would be made
ineffective and unworkable. The commits
tion preceived this very clearly at the out
set and deemed it absolutely necessary to
require that complaints be verified in
proofs OF genuineness and good faith, and
they recite sufficient OF the facts to make
out an apparent case OF injustice, which
would fairly justify the company being
called upon to answer, and when these re-
Gurements have been brought to the
attention OF those from whom communi-
cations were received II very large proper
tion OF them were not heard from further.
Sometimes we have reason to believe this
is because they have discovered that they
were mistaken in the f.,cts and sometimes
because they have learned that the law is
not what they supposed, while in some
cases the grounds of complaint were OF
such trifiing Importance that when it was
found the case could not be passed up
on summarily and ex parte, the person
finding fault did not think it worth while
to make formal complaint.

A Fair Report.

or speaks OF the "hox" as usefu

But now an English writer, while
frankly admitting the infrmity OF his
countrymen IN the matter OF the as
pirate, charges us with worse faults.
He says, that 60 where you will in the

These expressions, he contends, de-
notes real ignorance, not a mere intirm-
itv of the vocal organs. Teachers
who have attempted to break English
boys of the misuse of the h have dis
covered that the lads cannot at first
detest any difference in sound between
hog and oe. The aspirate seems to be
an acquired taste, like olives and

The Verdict in the ChatswOrth Disaster.

The jury made out separate verdicts Tor
each OF the victims. Mrs. DR.. Ducketts is
the first name on the list. The following
IL the verdict OF the jury on her death.
We find that the wrecking OF the said
train, which totally demolished eight
coaches, one baggage car and one engine,
and either killed or wounded most OF the
occupants OF said coaches. was caused by
said bridge having been burned out be.
fore the train struck it. We think
from the evidence that the bridge was fired
from fires left burning. which had been set
as late as o'clock that afternoon by the
section men, as close as sixteen feet on
both the east and west sides OF the track.
We further find that the foreman OF fsection
1S, Timothy Coughlin, disobeyed positive
orders from the superintendent, the last
thing on Wednesday, and we find that he
did not 90 over the west two and one-half
miles at all on Wednesday, as instructed,
and that said foreman was guilty OF gross
and criminal carelessness in leaving fires
burning along the track in such a dry sea-
son with such q strong wind blowing.
We recommend that he be held
for examinations by the grand jury; and,
further, it is the opinion OF the jury that
the leaving OF the track without being pa
troled for six hours before the passage OF
the excursion train and the setting OF fires
by the section men on such a dry and
windy day were acts which deserve severe
criticism.
Coughlin was promptly arrested and
will be taken to Pontiac the county seat
of Livingston county. He says he cannot
give bail, and will have to go to Jail. He
insists that the verdict was unjust, that
he went over his entire section as ordered.
and that no fires were built as near the
bridge as Heall and Taggert testified.

4 CoIored Editor Gets into Trouble.

At Montgomery, Ala, popular indigna-
ton against an article in the Herald, a
weekly paper edited by colored man
named Dukes reached a climax here. The
article is as follows:
Every day or so we read of the lynching
OF some negro for outraging some white
woman. Why is it that white women
attract negro men now more than
in former days? There was a time
when such things were unheard
OF. There is secret to this thing that We
greatly suspect it is the growing apprecia-
ton OF the white Juliet for the colored
Romeo as he becomes more and more in
tellgent and refined. Ii something is not
done to break up these lynchinss, it will be
so that alter while they will lynch every
colored man that looks at a white woman
with twinkle in his eye"
A large public meeting adopted resolu-
tous denouncing him and warning him to
keep away from Montgomery. at the
peril OF his life.
